Verdict

The Vax Blade 4 Classic Plus is a 275W bagless cordless stick vacuum cleaner powered by an 18V Vax Core brushless motor and a removable 4.0Ah ONEPWR battery that delivers up to 45 minutes of fade-free runtime from a 3-hour charge. Weighing 3.1kg, it features a 0.6L dust capacity, integrated LED headlights, a 3-stage filtration system capturing 99.8% of particles down to 0.3 microns, and a Boost Mode providing up to three times the standard suction power. Main pros include its lightweight and maneuverable design, excellent multi-surface pickup on carpets and hard floors, and the convenience of interchangeable ONEPWR batteries and bundled tools that easily convert it into a handheld unit. However, notable cons include a top-heavy weight distribution, a relatively small dirt container that requires frequent emptying, a tendency to struggle on very thick carpets or rugs, and the inability to stand upright on its own.
